The infinite exchangeable graph law: existence and uniqueness (brick A2) #

Every exchangeable graph law extends uniquely to a probability law on the infinite graph space — a specialized Kolmogorov extension proved from compactness, with no general projective-limit machinery:

Brick A3 (exchangeability of infiniteLaw under every permutation of , and the packaged equivalence with ExchangeableGraphLaw) builds on this.

Padding to level n and restricting to a lower level k is restriction along Fin.castLE.

The padded law at level n: the n-vertex law, pushed forward to the infinite graph space through padFin.

Instances For

    The level-k restriction of the padded level-n law is exactly the k-vertex law, for every k ≤ n (consistency along Fin.castLE).

    Prokhorov extraction on the infinite graph space: every sequence of probability measures has a weakly convergent subsequence.

    The marginal property has at most one solution (finite-restriction measure extensionality).

    Existence of the infinite law: a Prokhorov subsequential limit of the padded laws has every finite restriction equal to the corresponding marginal.

    The infinite exchangeable graph law (specialized Kolmogorov extension via compactness): the unique probability law on the infinite graph space whose finite restrictions are the given marginals.

    Equations
    Instances For

      The marginal identification: each finite restriction of the infinite law is the corresponding finite marginal.

      Uniqueness: any probability law with the correct finite restrictions is the infinite law.

      The infinite law determines the exchangeable law (injectivity of the extension): two exchangeable laws with the same infinite law are equal.
